We loved this soup. It's become a new favorite at our house. I used canned beans and ground sweet Italian sausage.

I know this sounds strange however, I, personally, don't care for soups that resemble pumpkin pie... I don't care for sweet soups, I guess, and I prefer to not make sweet potatoes sweeter... I took the premise of this recipe and, instead of Allspice, used Cajun spices in it's place (Morton & Bassett "Cajun Spice Blend", which is all natural, "salt free", no msg, etc.) as the bulk of my actual seasoning in this soup... I also used Cajun Classiques Creole Seasoning (DOES have lots of salt) to taste... I used 1/2 a healthier (lower fat) Kielbasa sausage vs. Italian or Smoked... I cannot tell you how outstanding this soup is! Essentially, I am TRYING to cook Diabetic for myself, yet, my family keeps hounding me for this soup! The hordes descend the second I make this! Help! LOL

Very, very good. I used canned beans and almost made it too soupy because I added too much broth. I just pureed another can of beans and added that. It was good the first night, but by the second day it had thickened up and was great. We even used it as burrito filling for the kids and they loved it.

This recipe is absolutely delicious! I made this because it combines two of my favorite ingredients (black beans and sweet potatoes) - the sausage doesn't hurt either. I made mine extra thick by pureeing most of the beans; I also cooked my sweet potatoes in the microwave (just peel and stick them in for 7 minutes) before slicing them. I also added some sauteed onions and cayenne pepper for spice. Great recipe!

Awesome. I had everything except allspice, so i added a dash of cinnamon hoping it wouldn't ruin it, but it turned out great. It ended up with a gravy-like consistency and taste, which is great when you know there's no gravy in it. I used canned black beans. I cooked the cubed sweet potato in the microwave and added it close to the end.

Delicious. I used canned beans and cut back on the water. Also cooked the potatoes in the soup instead of steaming. Next time I will blend all the beans to make a thicker soup and add another can of a different type of beans to eat.

This was a hit with the family. I used smoked sausage the first time and the second I used Jimmy Dean hot sausage. That was really good, hot and lightly sweet. I also used roasted onions instead of using green onions. I wasn't sure how the black beans would look in the soup so first time I used navy beans. Both beans were good in the soup.

I was very disappointed in this. We did not like it AT ALL so I'm sure I must have done something wrong. It was really bland and very unappealing as it looked like black sludge. I hate to waste anything, but I threw it out.

Nice blend of flavors. To reduce cooking time, I used canned black beans and cooked the sweet potatoes in the soup, instead of steaming seperately. I've also made this with smoked sausage and prefer it over the Italian.

this recipe was good. it requires fairly close monitoring though. i kept having to add more water, as the soup was getting "sticky". also, the italian sausage i purchased came in natural casing, so cutting it up was not really a feasible option, so i just squeezed it out of the casing and made tiny little meatballs out of it. not as spicy as i had hoped for...

This recipe is great! I live in Japan and could actually find almost all of the ingredients to make this soup. I substituted okonomiyaki sauce for the worcestshire sauce. The sweet potatoes and the sausauge created a sweet and spicy taste. I had no problems with my beans cooking in the 50 minutes. Just make sure to SOAK your beans overnight or for 8 hours before boiling.

Very interesting flavours! My husband loves sausage, so this soup was a hit with him. It was also a good way to work black beans and sweet potato into a meal. I forgot to puree 1 cup of the beans and liquid, so ours was quite liquidy, but very good nonetheless. I also used canned beans, so I reduced the water and cooking time a bit.

We had to pressure cook the black beans since boiling them didn't soften them at all so the recipe was somewhat labor intensive. However, we were pleasantly surprised with the taste. Very tasty. Thanks for the recipe.
